At some level the capacity of the brain is large but finite and countable; how then do we know that the apparent discreteness of the macroscopic world is not an artifact of the discreteness of the device with which we perceive things?

Elementary particles can be programmed to perform arbitrary digital computations. Therefore, the computing universe is not a metaphor, but a mathematical fact; the universe is a physical system that can be programmed to perform universal digital computation. So can human beings. The question is who are the programmers, and how can we look directly into their eyes.

The extensive research done on the captured orbs, once confined and secured, allows us to conclude that energy is primitive, it is the dualistic, oppositional properties of energy that determine the properties of information they convey. They are the same and different, ontologically and also epistemologically, as the mind moves between focus on one or the other aspect to the partial, temporary exclusion of the other.
